Kualitas Kompos dari Berbagai Kombinasi Bahan Baku Limbah Organik
Abstract: The Quality of
Compost on Various Combinations of Organic Waste Raw Materials Evaluation of
compost stability prior to its use is essential for the recycling of organic
waste in agricultural soils. During composting, most of the biodegradable
organic compound are broken down and a portion of the remaining organic
material is converted into humic-like substances, with productionof a
chemically stabilized composted material. This experiment aimed to monitor the
changes inphysicochemical characteristics during composting of three kinds
compost heap and to define parameterssuitable for evaluating the stability of
compost. The experiment were conducted from Mei to October2011 and consisted of
three treatments with six replicates for each treatment. Compost pile temperature,the
pH, that reflected the initiation and stabilization of the compost, were
measured during the composting process. The carbon organic material content,
carbon and nitrogen content, the carbon to nitrogen ratio, organoleptic
characteristics, and K2O, P2O5, Mg, Ca content were measured to evaluate the
quality of the physicochemical properties of the compost. Compost toxicity
level had evaluated using Germination Index. The result showed that the quality
of compost from all treatments that were evaluated in this experiment meet the
standard quality of SNI 2004.
